I Give Up On You

(альбом: In A Special Way - 1983)

Although I want you
I don't like the things you put me through
You try to make me
Look just like a fool
I came to see you
You act like you didn't know me
That's not the way
I thought that it would be

I tried to show you
Just how much I really care
I couldn't find you
No not anywhere
You said you'd call me
I went home and waited by the phone
But you just filled me up
And left me all alone

I know you're thinking
That I'll be mad at you
And that's exactly
What you want me to do
But you don't know I'm
One step ahead of you
So you can live it up, I've had enough
And I give up on you

(I can't take it no more) Yeah yeah I do babe
(I can't take it) And I give up on you
(I can't take it no more) Yeah yeah I do babe
(I can't take it)

What were you doing
You recall yourself turning me down
And know it's finally
Coming back around
Now that I'm going
Girl, you tryna come back to me
Don't try to show me
I don't wanna see

Baby
I was so in love with you
That there was nothing
You thought that I could do
And then you told me
That you didn't mean any harm
But still you tried your best
To get me with your charm

I know you're thinking
That I'll be mad at you
And that's exactly
What you want me to do
But you don't know I'm
One step ahead of you
So you can live it up, I've had enough
And I give up on you

(I can't take it no more) Yeah yeah I do babe
(I can't take it) And I give up on you
(I can't take it no more) Yeah yeah I do babe
(I can't take it)

(I can't take it no more) I give up cos I've had enough of you babe
(I can't take it) Yeah
(I can't take it no more) I give up cos I've had enough of you babe
(I can't take it) Yeah

(I can't take it no more)
(I can't take it)
(I can't take it no more)
(I can't take it)

I can't take it no more (I can't take it no more)
I can't take it, oh! (I can't take it)
I can't take it no more (I can't take it no more)
I can't take it, no (I can't take it)

I can't take it, all the things you put me through (I can't take it no more)
I can't take it, so I'm giving up on you (I can't take it)
Babe, all the things you put me through (I can't take it no more)
I can't take it, so I give up on you (I can't take it)

(I can't take it no more) Yeah yeah I do babe
(I can't take it) And I give up on you
(I can't take it no more) Yeah yeah I do babe
(I can't take it) And I give up on you
